Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Sept. 12, 2017) In preparation of the arrival of Hurricane Florence, aircraft prepare to evacuate Naval Air Station Oceana to ensure personnel safety and prevent damage to Navy assets as a proactive measure. More than 100 Hampton Roads based aircraft assigned to Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic have departed the area as a result of the incoming storm. The aircraft are being diverted to bases in six other states not threatened by the hurricane. Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command ordered all U.S. Navy ships in the Hampton Roads area to sortie on Sept. 10, ahead of Hurricane Florence. There are nearly 30 ships preparing to get underway from Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek as Hurricane Florence is forecasted to bring high winds and rain to the Mid-Atlantic coast. Ships will be directed to areas of the Atlantic where they will be best postured for storm avoidance. (U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Ruben Reed/Released)
